Robinho re-ignited his Manchester City career with his first goal of the year as Mark Hughes' side edged West Brom nearer to the drop.
Brazil playmaker Robinho had not found the net since December 28 but opened the scoring at Eastlands yesterday after just 12 minutes.
And Hughes said: 'We are pleased Robby is back on the goal trail. It is his first in 2009 and important for him. As he has not been scoring, people have been highlighting that fact. But hopefully he will now go on a run again.'
Nedum Onuoha, Elano - with a penalty - and substitute Daniel Sturridge wrapped up City's win while Chris Brunt scored both for the Baggies.
And Hughes defended his decision to replace Elano late on. 'It was no reflection on his play,' he added.
